Jacob 7:8, 9, 14, 19, 24

Jacob 7:8

but behold, the Lord God poured in his Spirit into my soul,

insomuch that I did confound him in all his words.

Jacob 7:9

And I said unto him: Deniest thou the Christ who shall come?

And he said:

If there should be a Christ,

I would not deny him;

but I know that there is no Christ,

neither has been, nor ever will be.

Jacob 7:14

And I said unto him:

What am I that I should tempt God to show unto thee a sign

in the thing which thou knowest to be true?

Yet thou wilt deny it, because thou art of the devil.

Nevertheless, not my will be done;

but if God shall smite thee, let that be a sign unto thee

that he has power, both in heaven and in earth;

and also, that Christ shall come.

And thy will, O Lord, be done, and not mine.

Jacob 7:19

And he said:

I fear lest I have committed the unpardonable sin,

for I have lied unto God;

for I denied the Christ, and said that I believed the scriptures;

and they truly testify of him.

And because I have thus lied unto God

I greatly fear lest my case shall be awful;

but I confess unto God.

Jacob 7:24

And it came to pass that many means were devised

to reclaim and restore the Lamanites to the knowledge of the truth;

but it all was vain,

for they delighted in wars and bloodshed,

and they had an eternal hatred against us, their brethren.

And they sought by the power of their arms to destroy us continually.
